When the full extent of your venality, moral turpitude, and political corruption becomes known, you will take your rightful place as a disgraced demagogue in the dustbin of history.

On "Ingraham Angle," Wall Street Journal reporter Kim Strassel argued such claims should not be thrown out by a former top intelligence official without providing evidence.

"There used to be a day when intelligence officials, whether they were in office or out of office, would not spew innuendo like that, especially such grave charges," she said.

Strassel said if actual evidence did exist about Trump being compromised in some way by Putin, Brennan should have said something when he was still in office.

Brennan was later contacted by the New York Times about his comment, stating it was not based on inside information and he does not actually know if Russia possesses information about Trump with which they could "blackmail" him.
